When Chad Moeller Is A Winner, He's Not A Loser

Via Baseball-Reference.com - Chad Moeller's career batting results, in games that his team has won and lost:

	    PA	  BA   OBP  SLG	 BAbip	tOPS+
in Wins     665	 .258 .327 .405	 .308	132  
in Losses   656	 .190 .240 .289	 .240	 68

To be honest, I have no idea what this means. But, it could suggest that he's got no chance, whatsoever, against good-to-great pitching...and, against weak pitching he's not an automatic out.

Also, for what it's worth, when he's faced with a full-count, in 179 career PA, he's just a .182-hitter...but, in those spots he also has a career .397 on base average. Now, that's freaky. Probably the result of batting in front of the pitcher, a lot, in the National League. Better to walk him and take your chances with the pitcher, etc.

Lastly, in 188 lifetime PA, his BA/OBA/SLG line is .304/.311/.459 when he hits the first pitch. So, if he wants to hack at the first pitch, I'm not going to fault him on that...it seems to be working for him.

When *insert random pitcher name* give up less run then his oppenent, he tends to win, I'm not sure what that means.
